Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in the Lakers Nation.com podcast.

I am Trevor Lane, August 19th episode.

I wish it was September 19th instead of August 19th.

Then we'd be a week away from training camp and preseason getting going and all that kind of stuff.

But it is still August.

We've got some stuff to talk about though.

Like what is going on with the Lakers right now?

What are players actually up to?

What's happening with everything right now?

We also need to talk a bit about Jalen Hood-Shafino.

I know.

I know how we all feel about JHS, but we're going to talk a little bit about him

and maybe a bit of reason for cautious, very, very cautious optimism.

We also need to talk about Dalton Connect and why he is so highly rated in the rookie

of the year odds.

We'll take a look at that as well, plus some mailbag questions to dive into.

So let's get to it.
